I'd be reluctant to start a "newadmin" in core just yet without extensive design discussions first taking place on this topic. However, nothing prevents you or anyone who's interested to push this along by starting it outside of Django and then potentially merge it to core once it reaches a satisfactory state. I see that step #4 could be done in core regardless, though, and my point is that this work would benefit other efforts that are put into the full newadmin rewrite as it'd give us some empirical evidence of what does or doesn't work, quickly highlighting any major snag in the process.
